What is going on with their billing? They send me bills at random times, keep saying account is in debit. But they’re meant to collect the full amount in the Direct Debit each month? Now they are sending me multiple electricity bills, but I can’t see the gas bill? All since they changed my account number and switched to a new system which is completely confusing. I just can’t see how much I am actually using each month!

Crooks. £1700 credit on bill. When I requested this money, they managed to dwindle it down to £450! Absolute crooks. They changed meter readings to estimated readings. (Now quarantined) How strange?

Terrible communications and poor customer service. Proved impossible to speak to anyone. Very unclear how they calculate their direct debits. Kept going up for no reason or explanation.

New account numbers, so have to update password then discover one account with two meters on, only shows the invoices for one on both but none for the other meter. Get that eventually sorted. Then move onto getting an actual invoice for the year end despite two emails and speaking to someone in customer services, who said that was a different department I am still waiting, now I see they are making up readings at month end. Seeing as one account I deal with has a meter but it’s not used at the moment they’re are never going to be new readings which they should have noticed when they recalculated the bill recently going back to 2022 which actually left a small credit, and no difference in meter read from 2022 till today! This change of account number and different way of producing invoices is a shambles. They don’t deserve one star

Since starting the sign up process it's been an utter shambles. I've sent countless emails and still I wait what seems an eternity. They messes up my dual fuel switch which has only recently been resolved. Said they give me £30 credit on my account still not done. Customer service barely exists. Soon as my contract is up I'm off. Never ever had any problems with last supplier over many years and now I realise I made a big mistake joining edf.

Just don't listen to customers, totally unhelpful and fail to help elderly customers, engineers just going through the motions employ other contractors who cannot be contacted, staff fed up and know they are unable to deal with the complaint raised

This company does not even deserve 1 star. The customer service is shockingly bad. There is literally no way of contacting these people. They do not respond to emails, whatapp and take 45 minutes to answer the phone. Then leave you on hold for 30 minutes to find you an appointment slot. Then return saying that have no appointments. The engineers fitted the smart meter in a metal box which stops it working...when I finally got a reply after I made a complaint they emailed asking if they could call me to book an appointment. 7 hours later they still have not called.... I am personally leaving this company as they ate a joke. -10 stars

OMG! Please check your bills if you have a SMART meter. EDF used a random estimate for April instead of actual reading. So instead of charging for 200kwh they charged me for 2000kwh. This company must have serious problems with their billing software. So obviously a glaring error. I attempted to contact edf by whatsapp and then by email. Ive heard nothing!! Im not sure if its incompetence or fraudulent behaviour. Please see my bill below with mad estimated reading!!

Talked to Busani today via text she did a great job, in helping me. Thank you Busani. A slight problem in meter readings at the beginning of this month which worried me, now sorted. Thank you Busani.

Unbelievably patronising and passive aggressive man came to change meter.. Think he didn't want to do the job, wasting time and dithering. Then refused to do his job when I asked him to get on with it

Virtually uncontactable. No customer service over a weekend? No response to WhatsApp messages. 25min plus wait time on the phone before I had to hang up. I've still not managed to speak with anyone regarding my query. Possibly the worst customer service I've ever come across.

I have had a very unpleasant experience with your Edf recently as I was unexpectedly switch over to a new account number without my consent and input. During this time I was told that I would receive a new barcode within the next two weeks. This however did not happen and I was unable to make any payments. When I called to try and pay over the phone I was told that my meter was not connected to your system. I was told that I could still make a payment however and my money was taken, this however did not get put into my account so I was still left with low credit even after contacting you. I was however told that I would still have this money waiting when you fixed the problem. During my phone call I was informed that my new payment barcode was not even processed or printed yet and I would need to wait a week for it to come this would obviously go over the allotted two weeks that I was told I would need to wait even though I would be without electricity as they needed to come and reconnect me to the system and there was nothing I could do about this. Attached are what apps conversions to confirm this. There are disabled and elderly people as well as children under 18 years in the property and this is quite concerning for them as they will be with electricity as it ran out on a Sunday outside of your normal office hours and I was informed that I would need to wait over 12 hours to contact you this would mean that all of the food in the fridge and freezer would go off in-spite of the money being paid. I find this quite frankly unprofessional as the money was paid to my full capacity and I was still denied this service. This is in addition to the numerous issues that your service clearly has. If they are unable to send out any means of payment in the time that you have allocated for yourself I should have never been without means to pay and then stopped from receiving the service that I had paid for.

This has to be the worst treatment by any gas company. 3 days without gas connection after i paid on a prepaid metre. You call customer care number and you wait 30-40 minutes before anyone picking up and when they do , they keep telling me that someone is coming to fix and noone has come yet. 3 days in the cold with no hot water or gas to cool and i have 2 kids under 5. Definitely switching … am very disappointed and very angry

This company keep changing you above your normal rate even with low consumption. They come up with unnecessary bills. Which you may not have consumed.

The appalling customer service I received from EDF left me feeling tangibly upset and anxious at a time I was mourning the death of my dear dad. I am so glad I took the time to submit my complaint to The Energy Ombudsman who upheld my complain today and have treated me with empathy and respect throughout.

Charged £980 in May for 919 KWZ of energy that should be £263.. readings correct on 1st April and 1st May statements. Customer support unhelpful as we made the payment whilst amount in dispute to prevent potential credit issues.. big mistake as support's attitude us "well you paid it so. .."

You changed my account and now I cannot get into my new account and spent 30 minutes talking to a Simon K who said he would resolve the problem within 24 hours. 24 hours has passed and still cannot get into my new account. Don't know what is going on. Now on phone to EDF for 15 minutes and still cannot talk to anybody Useless.
